RHoP In The Media: What's Going Down in the DMV

Yes, Candiace was not fired. Robyn was and she's mad about it. Even the tone of the articles on BRAVO announcing their departures are different:

Candiace: "Candiace Dillard Basset is taking a "break" after 6 seasons as a wife. The singer, who joined the cast in Season 3, confirmed her departure in an exclusive to PEOPLE magazine."

Robyn: "Robyn Dixon is leaving RHOP.  She confirmed her departure from the series on April 15, one day after the 3 part RHOP reunion concluded."

Then Robyn's article spends a whole paragraph talking about Candiace leaving.

Robyn's article is about what happened in the past. Candiace's article talks about what she is doing in the future.

Candiace's article concludes with her thanking her fans.

Robyn's article reminds us Juan got fired and is still unemployed.  

If BRAVO fired Candiace, why would they care if she's now pregnant and write a whole article about it? Robyn could get pregnant today and BRAVO would 100% not care.

BRAVO is probably ringing Candiace's phone today to see if she would rejoin the show or talk about maybe doing a baby show.

 

 

I don’t know, Bravo lets most of the housewives say they are taking a break to let them save face. They usually leave it up to the housewife to admit they are fired. Robyn might have sour grapes but at least she was honest. I will say maybe there’s some truth to Candiace leaving on her own for the pregnancy. Someone needs to get a job though lol.

she was pregs at the reunuion ...

Doesn't Candiace have a reoccurring role on a tv show, or was that just part of a fever dream?

It doesn't matter if Candiace was fired or not, that was not Robyn's story to tell. That's why Candiace was mad at Robyn in the first place: Robyn is too busy trying to tell other people's stories instead of telling her own.  If BRAVO did fire Candiace and is letting her save face, who is Robyn to say Candiace needs to be honest about being fired?

Further, I've also heard that Robyn is blaming her firing getting leaked* on Candiace.  But it was Robyn's blogger friend who confirmed her firing that same day on Twitter. 

Robyn is a clown ass clown at the fair and the carnival and the circus.  Too busy worrying about what other people have got going on instead of worrying about herself.  That's why she's jobless today and once Juan finds a new laundress, she's going to be manless too.

Robyn still taking potshots at Candiace after neither one of them will ever have to work with each other again shows if both of them had remained, there never would've been any resolution.

I have a different take on it. I don't think Juan will leave her until after those boys are grown and up out of the house. He will just be less and less present until they are living separate lives under the same roof. When the boys leave, he will tell Robyn that he's out, and she will not understand why as she believes he'll slow/settle down as he ages, while he will do everything short of chewing off a limb to get out of there. This is a long, slow slide into Robyn's outside relationship matching the inside.

[Bronzedog]

I think Candiace left voluntarily. She was harassed constantly, pregnant and has plenty of irons in the fire. She also has a personality and a supportive husband. I mean, seriously, why would she stay?  Robyn, on the other hand, is married to someone whose previous employer chose to buy him out rather than reassign him and have to continue to put up with his surly ass. Not only does he seem to be unemployable at this point, he can barely stand to have a phone conversation with her. Robyn also has zero personality nor does she have the energy to pretend to have one. My guess is if either one of them is asked back to the show, or offered some kind of spin-off down the road, it will be Candiace.

Juan is smart enough to know that if he leaves, he'll be on the hook for child support. If he stays, he can stay jobless AND Robyn will continue to pay for everything. If only he was smart enough enough to know not to cheat in public, as well as to not leave literal and figurative receipts behind.....

I think it’s a bit part on a show that’s not popular.  She probably won’t be singing much, not that it made her any money. With their mortgage , Chris’s child support and all the other bills, someone needs to bite the bullet and get a job. Unless Mama Dorothy is opening the purse again lol.

When did Robyn out Candiace? All she said was that she wanted to wait until after the reunion to announce her departure and she did. She also admitted she was fired which most of them don’t do.
While her firing is her own fault, she didn’t want to expose whatever her and Juan have going on. I’m sure it wasn’t a surprise to her.

I looked it up on IMDB. She's number 4 on the call sheet (Erica Mena is 3, so take that for what it's worth). Bottom line is that this job makes sure she stays in SAG and with health insurance.

Erica was fired and word on the street is the show will probably be canceled.

1. Robyn said she wanted to have respect for the network and wait until after all of the reunion had aired before announcing her departure.  That was a shot at Candiace because Candiace announced her news before the reunion aired.  

2. When Robyn said at least she's being honest about being fired unlike other people claiming they're stepping away and taking a break.  That was another shot at Candiace who mentioned in her statement she was stepping away and taking a break.

That's clown behavior from Robyn.  The girl is gone...Robyn never has to have anything to do with Candiace ever again.

I don't know. When I'm finished with someone, they literally do not exist to me again. Robyn made it clear to Candiace several times she wants nothing to do with her...why did she feel the need to take a potshot on the podcast? Just a silly sad clown.

That makes sense and it did occur to me that she was talking about Candiace. After Candiaces nasty posts about Robyn last year, a little vague dig is no biggie. I guess Robyn is clowning but no less than Candiace who has always had a lot to say about the cast. Unlike Gizelle, Robyn really liked Candiace at one time. She defended Chris Bassett. I think that’s why it still bothers Robyn. Like you said they probably will have nothing to do with each other again.  Both of them need to figure out their futures without Housewives.

Candiace gave an interview to Entertainment Tonight along with the announcement: 

• Was told by production she needed to find a way to move forward.

If production told Candiace she needed a way to move forward, then they all agreed she would have to leave. 

As for Bravo saying that a HW is on pause, or on a break, it means that they were fired. But, a few who were on "pause" or fired were asked to return (Sheree from Atlanta, Dorinda from NY, Tamra from the OC, Jacqueline Laurita and Danielle Staub from NJ, Kim Richards is on and off Beverly Hills). But it's not Robyn's place to ask anybody else to be honest since she was not honest herself about a few issues.

BRAVO had no intentions of firing Candiace. What they intended was production would talk to Candiace, tell her she needed to take responsibility for her role in Season 8 and come to a resolution with Gizelle and she would do it, because she had done it before.  

Production did talk to her and they also asked her not to go in on Gizelle & Robyn (per her ET interview)

She was receptive to that, which is why she was the first one to say she was willing to take responsibility and ownership of what she needed to own. Wendy, Mia & Karen followed. Gizelle & Robyn sat quiet and Gizelle said she was looking forward to the ownership.  That's because production told Gizelle that Candiace would be apologizing to her as a condition of moving forward with the show (and Gizelle told Robyn this)

When Candiace realized only she was to be held responsible & accountable and not Gizelle, she & Chris went back in that dressing room and decided time was up. She was about 7-8 weeks pregnant at that point and dealing with Gizelle & that production wasn't worth it. That's why when Gizelle barked at her to GET OUT! LEAVE! and Candiace replied "Oh I'm out."

If there was a part that made BRAVO say "we can't move forward with this current cast" it was probably the part where Candiace apologized...that Gizelle would weaponize her children.

So Candiace quit because she knew she would likely be fired for not apologizing to Gizelle for being upset about Gizelle lying on Candiace's husband and bullying her on set.

As for Robyn, I'll concede she was justified in taking a potshot at Candiace in her announcement. After all, Candiace did call her a fraud, went on multiple interviews and said she should be fired.  I'll give you that.

Robyn is still a clown ass circus clown because she's too busy telling somebody's else story instead of telling her own.  That's why she's unemployed today.

As for Candiace, I think she's pitching a baby show with another network.  That baby announcement was a little too professionally done to be done for the fun of it.  There's also a rumor she's moving to Atlanta and Chris already has a job lined up there.  That's just a rumor though.

THIS!!!!

If Juan was smart, he would have played up his and Robyn's relationship for the cameras to keep that big howife check.

Juan is good-looking (just ask Michael) and Robyn had a regular girl vibe that would have played well with the viewers. He should have kept up the pretense and then done laundry on the side with whoever he wanted (we know Robyn is never going to say anything to him).

Robyn's parents are probably going to have to help pay some mortgage payments in the future if neither of them can get any more high-paying jobs.

I checked out this season. I didn't need that toxicity in my life. I hope Potomac comes back better. Much better.

More than the C/G/R saga, the Wendy/Nneka utter nonsense was the "I'm out" for me. Wendy is just so aggravating. She played coy + shady with Nneka for no good reason, and it went downhill, left and sideways from there. I wish she'd get a pink slip, too.

Mia? Major propers. Hoping for the best for her, Gordon and the family.

It was obvious that Bravo wanted only Candiace to take responsibility because Andy Cohen asked her specifically at the reunion. So, she was forced to leave, or she was fired.

Carlos King thinks Candiace was fired

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/carlos-king-thinks-candiace-dillard-141540784.html

I heard another YouTuber say the same thing. She speculated it was due to the altercation that someone filmed and that it could've also been because Candiace's five-year contract was up and she wanted more money. Whatever the case, I do believe that most of them don't leave on their own even though they spin it that way. But I'm not sure what happened with Candiace, because at the Reunion she looked mentally checked out to me. 

I give Robyn some credit for being honest that she was fired. Too bad she couldn't also be honest about Juan's shenanigans, but perhaps that was too much for her.

Andy didn't ask Candiace specifically, he asked everyone.  Everyone except the GEBs and Ashley said they were willing to take responsibility for their parts. Gizelle, Robyn & Ashley did not take responsibility nor feel the need to because they are protected by production*.

I do not believe Candiace was fired but if she was, she wins no matter which way you spin it.  She's no longer associated with a failing show and network/production/cast members will have to earn their checks a different way. She has other things going on.  Fired or not, she went out on top.

If the show continues to decline in Season 9 with the remaining cast, you can't blame Candiace or her antics on that.  Time for Gizelle, Ashley and the rest to grow up and start doing their jobs or go wherever Juan Dixon is.

*Robyn was NEVER wanted for the show, it was Gizelle who persuaded them to take Robyn and keep her on the show year after year.

If this is who I think it is, I'm not sure how to feel about it. I would hate to see GNA going after another young family.  But the lady in question does seem to be thirsty for fame. Also, good thing Robyn won't be there cuz I could see some Season 1 style conversations if true.

Allegedly it's this lady.  If true, Gizelle is either to love her to get GNA sold or she's going to hate her.  Family wise by appearance alone, she is a Candiace replacement.

Stacey Rusch quit QVC recently, saying she was going to "focus on her family." This is an interesting way to focus 

From what I saw of her on QVC, she is very likeable and devoted to her daughter, Arabella. Her husband is European, I want to say German.

Robyn's not on the show anymore so she can't text her blogger friends to tell them Candiace is causing problems on the set.

(Meanwhile Candiace is watching Summer House, having pregnancy cravings and shopping with her mom/sister in DC. Robyn's skincare salon is still nowhere near ready to be opened).

In other news, Nneka finally confirmed she won't be back for Season 9. We figured that out when we saw reports of filming going on with no Nneka in sight.

Nneka, you won't be missed or remembered by Potomac or anyone else but I wish you well in your future endeavors.  It's a shame you happily let yourself be used by cast + production to get rid of Candiace and Wendy, only to be given the boot yourself.

It's Nneka, Candiace & Robyn that are gone. Nneka was brought on by production & used by the Gizelle faction of the cast to get rid of Wendy (and Candiace would be a bonus). They thought they could swap one Nigerian out for another. Gizelle & her clique buddied up to Nneka to show "See, we aren't colorist! We like Nneka and she's dark! Wendy and Candiace are the problem!"

Production & cast did not give one solitary F about Nneka's life.  They only cared about osu and shrines and witchcraft and getting Wendy.  Not one of them will keep in touch with her now that she's gone...ironically the only one I think will keep in touch with her is Candiace.

Nneka, you won't be missed or remembered by Potomac or anyone else but I wish you well in your future endeavors.  It's a shame you happily let yourself be used by cast + production to get rid of Candiace and Wendy, only to be given the boot yourself.

Do you all ever get the feeling that Robyn is going to be broke, again, in about 5 years?

Her boys will be grown and Juan will probably long gone.

I don't think Robyn has the intelligence or the drive to make use of whatever goodwill that she has left from the show.  She missed a big opportunity with the hats because a lot of people wanted one but they were never available on her website.

I wanted one because it was supposed to be lined with something that is good for a lot of different hair textures.  I know other people sell those type of hats but I would get one for a fluke. I never have purchased a howife's product before and getting one of her hats could have been fun.

Lort help me, but I bought La Dame perfume for my MIL one Christmas like 5 years ago. She loved the stuff, wanted more, but by then it was no longer being sold on HSN. Oh well.

Lord help me, this sounded like the opening of a joke.

Robyn was broke because of Juan.  If she goes broke again, it will be because of Juan. Robyn & Juan would've been broke whether she gave their last 2 dollars to that scammer because Juan was spending money trying to be Mr. Big Tyme,

Robyn has had a taste of making her own money now, so I see Juan not liking that and sabotaging her efforts.  IMO that's what he did when he refused to go to the reunion and cost her the RHOP job.

La Dame perfume bottles are no longer available but perfume rollerballs are still available on her website. You can still buy the candle on her website or at Bloomingdales.

My MIL passed away in March, so no need to restock La Dame now. To be honest, it wasn't half bad.

"TV Deets" (a Twitter account) claimed Monique was going to join the Peacock show "The Traitors" for season 3.  Allegedly she was in talks to rejoin RHOP for season 9 but decided to do Traitors instead.

Then Monique denied it and said she wasn't joining the show but would be interested if asked.  

Then another Twitter account claimed The Traitors rescinded their offer to Monique because Candiace was also set to join but pulled out due to pregnancy concerns* so without Candiace on the cast they didn't want to cast Monique.  Allegedly they are in talks with Robyn.

Now somebody claiming to be Monique's rep says the numbers weren't right and that's why she didn't sign on.

All of these allegations are on the Lipstick Alley blog.**

 

*If any of this is true, it sounds production cast Candiace, then decided to cast Monique for drama.  When Candiace found out Monique was joining the cast, she decided to pull out and because production only cast Monique to have some drama with Candiace, there was no need for Monique...if any of this is true.

**Gizelle is claimed to be believing Candiace and Wendy are leaking RHOP show information to the blogs and production is very unhappy about it. Robyn also alleged Candiace was leaking show information to the blogs. It's probably Robyn (or Ashley) that's leaking show information to the blogs, but hey lets blame Candiace one mo' time.

The RH of DC lasted for one season only because the Salahis (Michaele, the wife was a HW) crashed President Obama's first official dinner. I was watching Oxygen True Crime's new series Sins Of The South (produced by Dick Wolf of the Law and Order franchise), and who was commending on the second episode (the storyline was about polo)? Tareq Salahi, since he is such an "insider" of the local aristocracy....

How would Candiace even know what was going on during the new season filming?

Maybe. They probably said the same about Candiace regarding the previous season.

1. Robyn said she wanted to have respect for the network and wait until after all of the reunion had aired before announcing her departure.  That was a shot at Candiace because Candiace announced her news before the reunion aired.  

The same network that she hid everything about her life under a paywall for her podcast. Yes, Robyn you have tons of respect for the network.

I want to like Robyn but sometimes she makes it hard.

Wendy would be a more obvious choice than Candiace, because Wendy has a personal relationship with The Jasmine Brand, who broke the news of Robyn getting fired.

Candiace isn't paying attention to this show; Candiace is eating snacks and watching Summer House.  I don't think Candiace wants anything to do with the current cast besides maybe Wendy & Karen*.

Candiace isn't leaking to the blogs but we know Robyn has them on the group chat.

Speaking of Robyn, the "Coming Soon" sign for her Glo 30 store is finally up.  It's in the Target shopping center in Columbia next to the Burger Joint place.

The question that has never been answered to me is "Who leaked the Mia/Wendy fight to the blogs but swapped out Candiace for Wendy as the fighter?"  There were whole petitions created and uproar screaming to get Candiace fired for fighting and it turned out the girl wasn't even in the state when the fight went down. That is probably the person who is leaking to the blogs and that person isn't Candiace or Wendy and that person is probably Robyn.

We know Ashley & Sesame Street leaked to the blogs about Candiace & the GNA fight.

*The longer Candiace is away from the toxic environment, the less likely she's going to want to return to RHOP as long as Gizelle/Truly Original is there.  I do see her doing reality TV in the future; it's just not going to be on RHOP.
